Returning to the same screenwriter as silence of the lambs was a great idea. It gave this film that extra feeling that made silence so incredible. Also, I read the book, and this movie goes completely by it, as did Silence of the lambs. Obviously the acting was fabulous. Anthony Hopkins revels at playing Hannibal, and I don't think he even had to try this time. It's clear he knows him. As do we, which makes the movie have an element of fun it.

I don't want to be one of those people that breaks down a movie for all it's hits and misses. This was a decent film that I don't feel I wasted my money on, but I would feel that way if I bought it. The landscape is beautiful, and so is ashley judd, so there you go, men and women have a reason to watch. Thrillers are usually fun even if we know what is going to happen because we don't always know HOW. Although she is beautiful, I don't think that Ashley Judd is an incredible actress. She has a lovely speaking voice and plays intelligence well, but that's as far as it goes. Her crying scene really gives it away in this movie. I had to laugh at it. But hey, it's just a movie

Aside from all the other previously mentioned great things about this movie, what I take from it is how corrupt our news media is. They do these bits on how awful corporatons like big tobacco are, which they are, don't get me wrong, but they do the same things themselves. They will sell out the public's safety to save their own asses. CBS would pull a story on health issues if it would hurt the companies that own them. Read the book BIAS by Bernard Goldberg to know more.
